This cycling tour through the Algarve winds through the captivating landscapes of this southern Portuguese region: tranquil villages, fragrant orange groves, and picturesque rivers. From the historic streets of Tavira to the moorish architecture of Silves to the sun-drenched shores of Lagos, you explore ancient castles, indulge in delectable gastronomy, and soak in the serene beauty of coastal vistas and lush inland landscapes. A highlight will be the Ria Formosa Natural Park, a mesmerizing coastal lagoon system that encompasses a diverse array of habitats, including salt marshes, tidal flats, barrier islands, and freshwater lagoons. This is the place for birdwatchers! This is a moderately hilly route with daily distances from 31 to 53 km. You will cycle on a mix of approximately 50% paved and gravel roads and 50% dedicated bike lanes. This tour is the easier route in Algarve and follows the route closer to the sea. The downside is that it passes through more developed areas. It is excellent for a winter tour.
